Decoupage Boxes

These boxes are covered with our own patterned paper. The patterns were made by scanning ordinary objects—coins, ribbons, rubber bands, and wooden letters. What perfect boxes for stashing money and supplies! We added some abandoned Barbie shoes and other old plastic toys to give our boxes an extra hit of fun.

1. Cut cereal boxes into sizes and shapes or find an old gift box other container.

2. Cover with paper using a glue stick or library paste.

3. Paint them with decoupage glue (Mod Podge is good) for extra shine and durability.

4. When your boxes are dry, add colored tape, buttons, beads, or tiny toys to make them even more spectacular.
